If I have Asphalt shingles, would I have to reinforce my roof to install the Ekoroof system?
A. No, and that’s part of the beauty of Ekoroof! If you currently have shingles or clay, you would need to reinforce your roof if you are going to install concrete tiles. This is due to the fact that concrete is much heavier than shingles or clay. If you live in a northern lattitude, you also have to account for the tremendous weight of any snow that accumulates on the roof. However, the light weight Ekoroof plastic tile allows for easy installation that does not require reinforcement to your existing roof structure whether you currently have shingles or clay. This allows you to have the look of concrete or clay without breaking the bank to heavily modify your roofing structure.
